Carrizo will be the most advanced APU AMD has brought to the market, offering better performance and better efficiency than ever before, perfect for users who enjoy content on the go.
As technology has evolved, the desire to access and enjoy TV and Video on the move has increased. As a result, more viewers are watching On Demand content online. A recent study from ARRIS of 10,500 people in 19 countries found that 56% used a laptop, desktop, smartphone or tablet to do something related to the TV programme they were watching.
Another study by TNS Global of more than 55,000 internet users worldwide, revealed than more than a quarter of those surveyed used a PC, laptop or mobile daily to stream content.
In line with this change in viewing habits, the new 2015 AMD Mobile APUs are designed as complete solutions for gaming, productivity applications, and ultra-high-definition 4K experiences.
This, coupled with a fine-grained power management between CPU and GPU and a number of other exciting features such as the hardware based H.265 codec, ensures the 6th generation of A-Series APUs are a great step forward for increasing the quality of video on demand, while on the move. This will effect and control the attitude of resellers and dealers, dealing with the cloud and hosting.
